Helheim with 10 points of research... strange considering how well their commanders can self-buff. Those are some pretty great thugs right off the starting line, but they ought to have taken SOME magic given the efficacy of cheap buffs early on.
Looks like Kailasa probably has the forces to take down Caelum's capital after that last rout they presided over. What happened to the mammoths? Won't anyone think of the mammoths? They'll pretty much HAVE to take the capital now to stay competitive after a nasty short war of attrition there.
R'lyeh seems to be getting a startling amount of gold income out of its sea provinces. They must have a much higher population than the eastern seas under Atlantis. Will Atlantis be able to take the middle sea to compensate?
Thank goodness T'ien C'hi's gem income has levelled off in the last few turns. I was getting a bit nervous there that we'd be drowning in Celestial Gardeners by turn 20.
Ulm has been expanding at a fearsome rate for Ulm. Their war against Fomoria must be going exceedingly well. EA Ulmishmen are basically made to take out giants. If nothing happens to drastically change the face of that clash, Ulm will soon be recruiting giant-killers out of two different capitals.
Looks like Lanka continues to struggle... unless he's just blood-hunting the crap out of his provinces and summoning a ton of stuff for a dam-bursting strategy.
I think I reduced my population a bit too much with excessive patrolling and taxes... but at least I've fortified my borders, and reduced my profile as a target. I'm feeling kinda scorched-earthy now. It's a lot like you just went out and spent all your money on something and don't have buyer's remorse. Or a long day working and you feel dirty and tired but good about yourself.
Anything else going on out there that the world should know about? Everyone having fun?!
Re: Ascendant - EA for new guys
Though they may still have something up their sleeves (for they wear sleeves for that express purpose! 
).
Linear Mode
